Is Romney a Safer Choice for Women?

[Geee]

National Review:

An interesting story from last winter: An e-mail friend, a staunch Republican who lives in an affluent suburb far from Washington, was watching one of the Republican debates with his wife, a staunch Democrat.

 

 

He was surprised by her response to Mitt Romney. “He’s a grown-up. He’s someone who is reliable,” he told me she said. “People will feel safe if he is in charge.”

 

I’ve been thinking about that e-mail in the wake of the first presidential debate on October 3 and the vice-presidential debate last week. (This is written on deadline before the October 16 Long Island debate.)

 

 

There’s obviously been a surge toward Romney. He was trailing in just about every national poll conducted before October 3. He has been leading in most of those conducted since.
